IoT for Smart cities

Nokia brings the Internet of Things (IoT) to life for smart cities, creating the seamless fabric that stimulates economic growth and enables a more livable and better connected society.

Our solutions combine the IoT, cloud and security technologies with shared connectivity and data. We enable cities to leverage their network together with the IoT to offer innovative new smart city applications for their citizens, advance eco-sustainability initiatives, and create new opportunities for business development.

Addressing the challenges of smart cities

Smart city projects require expertise that spans many different fields including finance, planning , transport, energy safety telecommunications and more. They also require public–private partnerships (PPPs) that embrace all of these different dimensions. The IoT smart city concept is a holistic and layered framework that addresses the needs of mulitple aspects of smart city projects and allows cities to use urban data to boost economic competitiveness, and build more effective, workable solutions to many city challenges. Working with an ecosystem of partners, we offer products, tools and services for public service providers, city network operators, application providers, and enterprises. We use our technologies and expertise to create an effective common network infrastructure, a secure IoT architecture, and layers of control and management that serve the needs of CIOs, city agencies and city councils.

Our market trials and use cases span smart metering, parking, energy, public spaces (like bus shelters), smart city private networks, crowd monitoring, and more… Our solutions help you bring the IoT to life for your city.
